I'm 30, transfem, and to be quite honest, I feel my will to live slowly slipping away. I'm trying to find the willpower to finish my PhD thesis and to get into a better living situation after that, but I find myself frozen and wanting to curl up into a tiny ball of nothingness instead. And there are LOTS of reasons for that, mostly centered around trauma, guilt, and shame.

I don't think I can fit everything I need to say in a succinct post, so if it isn't against the rules, would any of you fellow girlies be willing to shoot me a DM and give some advice? I don't think I can really explain without having a back-and-forth conversation... thanks in advance. 🏳️‍⚧️💜

I'm not a girlie and I am fairly certain I cannot understand what you're going through, but I just want to let you know that I'm glad you exist.

Same to that sentiment!

Although I haven't walked in your shoes, I can tell you that sometimes the most important thing is to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Break your challenges up into the smallest pieces you can and then relentlessly work on just one bit until it's done, then work on the next. Sometimes it's not fun and doesn't feel like you're going anywhere , but you are making progress . You may not end up where you planned but you will get somewhere . My mantra is "If you're going through hell, keep going ."
